Sir, With interest we read the editorial by Wolf on obesity as a renal risk factor [1]. We fully support the author’s view that overweight and insulin resistance, as mediators of renal risk, deserve attention not only in morbidly obese patients with overt insulin resistance, but also in renal patients with less severe obesity. Recent data from our group suggest that the impact of overweight and...

To investigate the expression profiles of efflux transporters in human ocular tissues, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry were used to obtain the relative mRNA and protein expressions of various efflux transporters in human ocular tissues. The cornea, conjunctiva, irisciliary body (ICB), retina and choroid, human corneal epithelial cell ...

In this talk we give combinatorial proofs of q-Stirling identities using restricted growth words. This includes a poset theoretic proof of Carlitz’s identity, a new proof of the q-Frobenius identity of Garsia and Remmel and of Ehrenborg’s Hankel q-Stirling determinantal identity. We also develop a two parameter generalization to unify identities of Mercier and include a symmetric function versi...
